Work Area
• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
benches and dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools In explosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
Electrical Safety
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry
the charger. Keep cord away from heat, o11,sharp
edges, or moving pads. Replace damaged cords
immediately. Damaged cords may create a fire.
A battery operated tool with integral batteries or a
separate battery pack must be recharged only with
the specified charger for the battery. A charger that
may be suitable for one type of battery may create a
risk of fire when used with another battery. Use battery
only with charger listed.

deslgnated battery pack. Use of any other batteries
may create a risk of fire. Use only with battery pack
listed.
Personal Safety
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use tool while tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inatten-
tion while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing,
and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in the
locked or off position before inserting battery
pack. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or
inserting the battery pack intoa tool with the switch on,
invites accidents.
• Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turn-
ing the tool on. Awrench or a key that is leftattached
to a rotating part ofthe tool may result in personal
injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal-
ance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables
better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Dust mask, nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection must be used for appropriate conditions.

Tool Useand Care
• Use clamps or other practical way to secure and •
support the workplece to a stable platform. Holding
the work by hand or against your body is unstabie and
may lead to loss of control.
• Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your
application. The correct tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it isdesigned.
• Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off.
A tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the switch
in the locked or off position before making any adjust-
ments, changing accessodes, or stodng the tool. Such
preventive safetymeasures reduce riskof startingthe tool Service
aocidentatly.
• Store idle tools out of reach of children and other
untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
other metal objects like: paper clips, coins, keys,
nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can
make a connection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may cause
sparks, burns, or a fire.
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp
and clean. Properly maintained tools, with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
• Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, and any other condition that may
affect the tool's operation. If damaged, have the tool
serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained tools.
• Use only accessories that are recommended by
the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that
may be suitable for one tool, may create a risk of
injury when used on another tool.
• Tool service must be performed only by qualified
repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed
by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
• When servicing a tool, use only identical replace-
ment parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance
section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or
failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may create a
risk of shock or injury.
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden
wiring. Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.
Additional Rules For Safe Operation
Know your power tool. Read operator's manual
carefully. Learn its applications and limitations, as
well as the specific potential hazards related to
this tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
electric shock, fire, or serious injury.
Make sure your extension cord Is in good condi-
tion. When using an extension cord, be sure to
use one heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. A wire gage size (A.W.G.) of at
least 16 is recommended for an extension cord
100 feet or less in length. A cord exceeding 100
feet is not recommended. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the
heavier the cord. An undersized cord will cause a
drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating.
Important Rules for Battery Tools
Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an
electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in
operating condition. Be aware of possible hazards
when not using your battery tool or when chang-
ing accessories. Following this rule will reduce the
risk of electric shock, fire, or serious personal injury.
Do not place battery tools or their batteries near
fire or heat. They may explode. Following this rule

• Tap the hex key wrench sharply with a mallet in a
clockwise direction. See Figure 12. This will loosen
the screw in the chuck for easy removal.
Fig. 11
When drilling hard smooth surfaces use a center punch to
mark desired hole location. This will prevent the drill bit from
slipping off center as the hole is started. However, the tow
speed feature allows starting holes without center punching
if desired. To accomplish this, simply operate your drill at a
low speed until the hole is started.
The material to be drilled should be secured in a vise or with
clamps to keep itfrom turning as the drillbit rotates•
Hold toolfirmlyand place the bit at the pointto be drilled.
Depress the switchtrigger tostart tool.
Move the drill bit into the workpiece applying only enough
pressure to keep the bit cutting. Do not force or apply side
pressure to elongate a hole.
,_WARNING: Be prepared for binding or bit
breakthrough. When these situations occur, d_ll has
a tendency to grab and kick opposite to the direction
of rotation and could cause loss of control when
breaking through material. If not prepared, this loss
of control can result in possible serious injury.

BATTERIES
Your drill's battery pack is equipped with 13 nickel-
cadmium rechargeable batteries. Length of service from
each charging will depend on the type of work you are
doing.
The batteries in this tool have been designed to provide
maximum trouble free life. However, like all batteries, they
will eventually wear out. Do not disassemble battery pack
and attempt to replace the batteries. Handling of these
batteries, especially when wearing rings and jewelry,
could result in a serious burn.
To obtain the longest possible battery life, we suggest the
following:
• Store and charge your batteries in a cool area.
Temperatures above normal room temperature will
shorten battery life.
• Never store batteries in a discharged condition.
Recharge them immediately after they are
discharged.
• All batteries gradually lose their charge. The higher
the temperature the quicker they lose their charge. If
you store your tool for long periods of time without
using it, recharge the batteries every month or two.
This practice will prolong battery life.
